After Yang Sisi finished speaking, she kept looking at me, waiting for my answer... I let out a heavy sigh, then closed my eyes again. After a long while, I replied to Yang Sisi, "Of course I want to help her get out of this predicament... But no matter what the outcome is, we can't be together... If I can give her a Vacheron Constantin in my lifetime, I will have no regrets."
"Vacheron Constantin?...Why did you give her such an expensive watch?"
“If I can afford such an expensive watch, it proves that I have come out of the predicament I am going through... This is her greatest expectation of me. If I have fulfilled it, it means that I have not let her down... The best times between us are over, and there will never be better times in the future.”
As I spoke, I recalled the times she spent with me in Thailand…
"Don't say that so soon. It will only really matter if you still think this way after your leg is healed... Right now, you feel inferior to everyone and avoid everyone... So, your thoughts right now are the least realistic..."
As she spoke, Yang Sisi glared at me and said, "Stop talking nonsense. Now, right now, take me to stay at Brother Ping's villa... Everyone says our family is well-off, but I've never actually stayed in such a beautiful seaside villa before... This time, I'll have to thank you!"
...
My life has been full of drama ever since I went to Dali, and it continues to this day... To be precise, it's more like a farce. Ping Ge and I went to the airport to make sure Zhou San was safe, but in the end we brought Yang Sisi back. And the one who left alone in the end was Yu Tou, who had the best chance of realizing his dream... But even if it was a farce, it cheered me up.
Looking at Yang Sisi cooking in the kitchen, Ping Ge said to me with emotion, "Michael, I bought this villa a long time ago... I used to live alone, but then you came along, and today I finally feel like a real woman... It's so nice, but I wonder if I can even eat the food she makes... Isn't that how it always is in TV dramas? The richer the woman, the worse her cooking is."
I took a cigarette out of the pack and put it in my mouth, then replied, "Whether it tastes good or not, I really don't know... but there's something I need to seriously talk to you about."
"You said there's nothing we can't talk about."
"Sisi just told me... Everyone says her family is well-off, but she's never lived in such a beautiful seaside villa... Look, this nine million is definitely in our hands now, shouldn't you sign an agreement with her... Or, we can just sell this house to her directly!"
Brother Ping probably didn't expect me to talk to him about this. He was stunned for a moment, and then quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no... I spent more than ten million on this villa. I'm not bragging to you. The tax invoices are still there. If you don't believe me, I'll show them to you right now."
"What does nine million mean? Out of China's 1.4 billion population, at least 100 million people will never have the chance to earn that amount in their entire lives; not only did they send this money over, but they didn't ask for anything in return. Isn't this kind of trust worth the extra one or two million you would have spent on buying a house?!"
"What sins have I committed?... I was just happy that there was another woman in the house, and before I could even get over that feeling, I've stepped into the pit you dug for me... If I had known it would end like this, I would have begged Fish Head to take her away, even if it meant kneeling and kowtowing eight times!"
"People who are destined for great things shouldn't have such a narrow mind... Believe it or not, even if you mortgage this villa to the bank, they'll only give you a loan of eight million at most, and they definitely won't put the money in your hands for several months... If our deal goes through, that's fine, but if it doesn't, you'll only have eight million left to pay the bank... So selling it to Sisi for nine million is a win-win situation for you... In the future, this will be considered one of our case studies... We can use it to promote our products to domestic clients... Why should clients trust us? They look at these successful cases... If you were to hire a PR firm to do a marketing campaign like this now, it would probably cost more than one or two million... So this deal is truly a win-win for you!"
While staring at me, Brother Ping sighed, "Back in Jiulongju, you gave her the lion's share... and now you're doing the same thing again... Is she a debt of affection you owed her from a past life?"
I let out a soft sigh, and replied with a touch of heartache, "No, I feel that she wronged me in my past life... that's why she has suffered so much in this life!"
Brother Ping chuckled dryly twice, then said to me, “Regardless of who owes whom, I’ll just sell this house to her… If you treat this money as shares in our company, that would be a real trap, and who knows how much money we’d have to give her… It’s better to sell it to her and be done with it… This villa is really a waste of our rough old men.”
"Okay, let's settle this matter during dinner later."
...
At my suggestion, Ping Ge officially signed a sales contract with Yang Sisi. However, Yang Sisi had to have a company here before the house could be transferred to her. So she had to go back to Shanghai and then set up a branch company in Phuket in her father's name.
The next day, Yang Sisi bought a plane ticket back to Shanghai, and I, Ping Ge, and Zhou San took her to the airport.
Before going through security, she took my phone and, after some manipulating it, said to me, "I've added you on WeChat again... Remember, no matter what happens in the future, you're not allowed to block me... I won't pressure you anymore. If we can't be lovers, we can be family... okay?"
"Yeah, I'll always keep you in my contacts... When are you planning to go back to Phuket?"
"I won't be coming back for a while... Do you really think I care about that house?"
I hesitated for a moment, then asked, "So what do you mean?"
“I will never go back on my word… I said I would help Ye Zhi, and I will definitely help her… At least I will find out who harmed her in Phuket.”
"Don't put yourself in danger... If this were so easy to solve, Ye Zhi wouldn't have waited until now... and then chosen the least feasible solution!"
"I know what I'm doing... My dad knows many high-ranking people at Binjiang Group, I can just have him handle it... Don't forget, it was my dad who told you about Ye Zhi's family background... He has the ability." (To chat with more like-minded people about "My Tenant Sister," follow "Hot Articles" or "rd444" on WeChat to discuss your favorite books.)
